My kid is bytchy and moody like her mother...what can I do as a dad?

[Dog Based Gremlin]

My kid has become a little version of my ex and I can't seem to get my kid out of the runt

When we hang, she seems moody and has tween like attitude and doesn't find fun in anythjng except staying home.

I tell my ex and she doesn't seem to think it's a big deal and tells me I'm overreacting mainly because she never wants to really be on my side on anything volutarily but its a big deal to me especially since they argue with each other quite a bit then they make up over food.

What options are out there to save my kid's personality or is is a a wrap since my kid lives with her moody mom and my kid just gonna be a moody spoiled rotten brat.

I was considering child therapy to see if a therapist can pull out the root of the issue. I'd be mad too if I lived with my ex. She is a bytch

Genetics and she lives with her. It might be a wrap, breh.

Give it time, just a kid.

I think therapy and all that other shyt is overkill.

Just stay invested in her life, when you got out, bring her to places where that attitude would have other people looking at her crazy.

I guess it depends the source behind the moodiness.

If there some level of trauma, then yes take her to therapy.


If she is just copying her mothers behavior, it may not be worth it.

I don't think therapy is overkill. She may be bitter towards her parents not being together, maybe her mom's attitude, multiple things. Depending on her age, some kids don't have the emotional capabilities to express themselves, could be coming through in her actions. I think it's worth a try.

What does she enjoy doing? Maybe help her explore some other things she could be interested in.

A therapist can show her other ways to express herself and teach her that her mother's actions aren't appropriate. I think it's a good option.

Spend more time and be a bigger more positive influence than her mom.

You lucky. At least you don't have a son who when he isn't with you his lousy mom keeps him at his Puerto Rican godmother's house which Is filled with nothing but girls influenced by TikTok.

Well we definitely used to argue quite a bit (me and my ex) but it's stopped for like 2 years now since covid had us separate by force. Also, yes her behavior is pretty immature and bad at home. she walks over her mom everyday. My kid is Ike and my ex is Tina and my ex is enabling the abuse for sure.

My kid just likes to eat and sit at home lol just to be blunt. Definitely a couch potato kid with attitude.

Her mom is similar. She works and basically sits at home except to occasionally visit a relative or go grocery shopping

I used to be like that till I startedt tryin to take my health more serious and alittle more active outdoors for physical and mental health

You fukked up. First off you had a daughter, secondly you had a daughter with the wrong chic. But therapy isn't going to over power genetic makeup and home life just continue to be there for and love her as a father cause that's all you can do at this point.

You can send her to therapy all you want but unless the behavior she learned from her mom/her mom taught her changes, it's pointless. The issue is her mother, until her mom changes and enforces change on the child, nothing's going to happen. No shade to you but this is a prime example of choosing the wrong parent for your child. Can't have a bytchy negative momma and expect the child to somehow be immune to that behavior especially if they live with the mom
